dallas tx homes: Do Floor Plan Drawings Help you Visualize a Home? - 07/31/08 09:09 AM
Building a new house is hard. You go to the builder, you see they are offering about 15 different floorplans, but they only have 2 or 3 model homes to show you.  Ok, how do you see those other 12-13 floorplans? 
You then ask the builder if they have any inventory homes that you can walk.  Ok, there are another 5 floorplans you can see.  What do you do now if the floorplan that looks perfect on paper is not available to walk through? 
Do you imagine what the house looks like?  Do you take some of their other floorplans and … (26 comments)

dallas tx homes: Dallas Metroplex has 10 Cities in Top 100 Best Places - 07/22/08 09:50 AM
Many suburbs of Dallas, TX made CNN Money's top 100 places to live list for 2008.  What I find interesting is that 10 cities in the Dallas area made the list, but only 1 city from the Austin area made the list, Round Rock.  Of those 10 cities, I have to admit, I'm shocked by a couple of the cities that made it, but as to not offend anyone, I will not mention which ones are unbelievable.
This is interesting because Austin is constantly and consistently on the list of one of the best places to live.  They're supposed to have a great housing … (6 comments)

dallas tx homes: Richardson TX Woods of SpringCreek TurnAbout - 07/21/08 02:21 PM
My community, Woods of SpringCreek in Richardson, TX finally received the turnabout they've been talking about for years.  Telecom was a dead-end street, but it was never finished off because the plans were to make it a through street. 
With enough support from the homeowners, we convinced the City of Richardson to not allow it to be a through street and to keep the traffic away from our small, quiet community.  They then agreed to connect two different streets in order to make traffic flow from Plano into Richardson, Los Rios and North Star.
Here is a view from above showing how … (2 comments)

dallas tx homes: Richardson Regional Medical Center Almost Complete - 07/21/08 01:40 PM
Last June, I blogged about Richardson TX becoming the new Cancer Hub for the area.  Well, it's a year later, and they're almost done with the buildings.  Each time I went in for my pregnancy follow ups last year, I would watch out the window as they were working.  At that time, it seemed like they were moving so slow, but they were just putting in the infrastructure like the new parking lots, driveways, and sidewalks.

 
The last couple of months has seens a huge transformation.  Once these buildings get complete, it's not only going to be a huge … (2 comments)

dallas tx homes: Articles with MisInformation about Current Mortgages - 08/20/07 01:43 PM
I am so sick of all the articles that are being published and posted and talked about on the National News stations when they are not true.  The final straw for this blog is an article I just read on http://www.dallasnews.com/ real estate section.  You can read the full article here.
It says in this article that a buyer must have a minimum of 680 credit score, and that a 720 will help lower the interest rate offered.  WHAT??!!
Buyers, please be aware that there are MANY lenders out there that are offering loan programs with much lower credit scores.  Can you get … (2 comments)
